Musashino-sen no Shimai (Japanese: 武蔵野線の姉妹 Hepburn: Sisters of Musashino Line) is a Japanese web manga series illustrated and written by Yukiwo that has been digitally serialized in three different magazines, since June 2008, and the manga is still ongoing. Ranko and Hikaru, the main characters and sisters in Musashino-sen no Shimai, are voiced in the "+Voice" versions of the manga. The story focuses on the everyday life of the two unemployed sisters living in Tokyo who love Lolita fashion. A live-action film based on the series has been released.
Two beautiful sisters, Ranko and Hikaru Midorikawa, live in a high-end apartment in Tokyo, and both love Lolita fashion. They live carefree and worry-free lives, as they are NEET. Often the sisters will go to the Akihabara and Shibuya shopping districts to shop for various garments, and converse with people. The sisters are unemployed because Ranko made a fortune off the financial market, and they no longer need jobs. Hikaru takes care of household duties, whilst Ranko surfs the internet and plays games.
One day, Hikaru decides that she and Ranko should no longer be living this kind of lifestyle, and applies herself for a job, a waitress at a maid cafe. Naturally, Ranko is worried about Hikaru and joins her at the maid cafe at a daily basis.
Yukiwo's Musashino-sen no Shimai first began to be serialized on Flex Comix's FlexComix Blood web magazine, in December 2007. Then, in June 2008, the manga transitioned to the FlexComix Next web magazine. From October 2012 onward, Musashino-sen no Shimai was digitally serialized in G-Mode's Comic Meteor magazine. So far, five tankōbon volumes have been released between July 2009 and May 2012. "+Voice" versions of the manga were published, which includes the voices of two main characters Ranko and Hikaru, who are voiced by Mai Goto and Rena Maeda, respectively.
